That is about all you have. I know a Canadian who got a heart transplant. It lasted about 30 years. No cost.
You still think an incident disproves the whole. Hips are easy operations and very profitable. So are knees.

Will they pay for your bottom surgery if you become a citizen, little baby?

Canada doesn’t have "free" healthcare in the sense of zero cost—it’s publicly funded through taxes, so citizens don’t pay out-of-pocket for most medical services. Under the Canada Health Act, the system, often called Medicare, covers all residents for "medically necessary" hospital and physician services. This includes visits to doctors, surgeries, and hospital stays. No bills, no co-pays for those basics.

But it’s not a golden ticket. Prescription drugs, dental care, vision care, and things like physiotherapy aren’t fully covered unless you’re on specific provincial plans, low-income, or have private insurance (about 2/3 of Canadians do). Wait times can also be brutal—think months for non-emergency stuff like MRIs or specialist visits. Funding comes from federal and provincial taxes, and provinces run their own systems, so coverage and quality can vary. For example, Ontario might have shorter wait times than Nova Scotia, but it’s still not "free" when you consider the tax bill—healthcare eats up about 40% of provincial budgets.

So, yes, it’s "free" at the point of use for core services, but you’re paying through the nose in taxes.

It's also incredibly slow, even to the point that minor care left untreated develops into a major problem.
Then there is the euthanasia, or government sponsored murder of 'untreatables', or those with treatment costs are high (often because they failed to treat a minor problem in the first place!).

Fuck Canadian 'healthcare'. There's a reason they go see a private doctor in the States instead!

I have several Canadians in the family. When we get together, I ask them if they would like our healthcare. They laugh as they say" Hell No." They also do not want our gun violence.
Everyone waits for health care. When I call a doctor, I get an appointment some weeks in the future. They say if it is an emergency, go to the hospital Emergency Care or an Urgent care facility.

Did you know citizens carry guns in Canada, Sybil?
